[U-Boot] [PATCH/RFC] unify version_string

Andreas Bießmann andreas.devel at googlemail.com
Fri Jun 24 10:47:41 CEST 2011


This patch deletes the arch specific definitions of version_string in
favour of a single one in cmd_version module (which is always compiled
in).

This is an RFC as discussed in
http://mid.gmane.org/201106162022.09802.vapier@gentoo.org

Dear Peter Pan,

I think it would be best to base your changes to remove
timestamp on this patch (or some modified version of it)

regards

Andreas Bießmann
